Silence was supposed to be my veil
It was supposed to shield me from the worlds
From the noise of the outside
The thumping, numbing noise
Which creeps up next to you
When you least it expect it
and grows louder and louder
and Louder and LOUDER
UNTIL YOU CAN'T STOP YOURSELF
FROM SCREAMING OUT IN PAIN!!!

My veil of silence gave away
but only because all of you let yours down
The collective effort of all you people
Brought my veil down too
And added me to the crowd
The crowd of screaming, chattering zombies

Words will lose their meaning now
And sentences, their coherence
The mind will struggle to keep alive
As I slip into the void
I hope you survive
The Noise
